We sailed on our first two week cruise. It was a wonderful experience. We boarded the ship efficiently. Since we are Elite members, we had priority boarding. Having sailed on the Solstice and Equinox previously, the ship is exactly the same. We were very comfortable with the easy ship layout. The public spaces are on three decks, so easy to navigate.
We boarded the ship and were handed the usual champagne toast. You could also have a mimosa, wine or juice. After boarding, we proceed to Bistro on Five for a delightful and peaceful lunch. No crowds as at the oceanview cafe. At about 1:00 PM our stateroom was ready. A few "niggles" regarding the cabin. Since this was a two week cruise, not much storage. I think that Celebrity should consider modifying the cabins. If they put the flat panel TV on brackets on the wall, that can adjust, they can use the current TV space for drawers and shelves. The TV could also have a screen that is a picture display when it isn't used. Also, each cabin has a fridge, that most people do not use. Celebrity could bring those guest who need a fridge for medication or formula a fridge and the space could become a cabinet- Just suggestions. We did manage as we put many of items in the cabinet above the bed and hung most everything else. Some passengers who are short found the above cabinets not very useful.
Our cabin attendant, Brian was great.
Cabin 1552- Great cabin. Oversized balcony. Quiet. I recommend this cabin . Cabin 1554 has a window washing ladder parked in front of the balcony. But didn't impact us. The oversized covered balcony was worth any minor obstruction. Cabin not far from elevators.
